This study developed a vest prototype capable of monitoring body temperature using textile electrodes to prevent the sudden death of babies as well as to determine the quality of developed products by evaluating usability with commercial products. Based on the results of the 7th Size Korea Project, a basic pattern for a vest prototype was drafted by applying the average size of two-year-old Korean babies. Two prototypes were the detachable (VEST I) and integrated textile electrodes vest type (VEST II), which followed the same design. The materials were 100% cotton single jersey (SJ) and double jersey (DJ). Six experts evaluated the usability of the developed vests (VEST I & VEST II) and commercial product (VEST M). The single-layer woven textile electrode appeared to have a slightly higher conductivity than the double-layer one. There was no statistical difference in the body temperature sensing function between VEST I and VEST II. Finally, the superiority of the VEST I was verified through a comparison with commercial products (VEST M). The usability test suggested that a wearable smart clothing system of the integrated conductive textile could be further commercialized for bio-monitor applications in Ubiquitous-health care.

Objectives: A substantial proportion of women experience mental health challenges during pregnancy or the postpartum period. Common mental disorders (CMDs), including depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, are prevalent. Identifying causes and associated risk factors is imperative for early intervention and the prevention of mental health issues. Methods: This study utilized data from the 2018 Basic Health Research, which was conducted nationwide in Indonesia, using a cross-sectional approach. We focused on women aged 13-49 years who were currently or previously married, and had experienced pregnancy, including 8889 pregnant women and 77 012 women who had delivered between January 1, 2013 and August 31, 2018. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire-20 was employed to assess CMDs. Multivariate logistic regression was performed. Results: The prevalence of CMDs in pregnant women was 12.6%, while postpartum mothers exhibited a prevalence of 10.1%. Poor health status displayed the strongest impact on CMDs during both pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 12.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 9.01 to 16.60) and the postpartum period (aOR, 16.72; 95% CI, 14.85 to 18.82). Additional significant factors for both group include young maternal age, lack of education, unemployment, history of hypertension, and smoking status. Among pregnant women, CMDs was also associated with first-trimester pregnancy, previous pregnancy complications, and small upper arm circumference. For postpartum mothers, significant factors include living in rural areas, history of abortion, unwanted pregnancy, pregnancy complications, lack of antenatal care, spontaneous delivery, postpartum complications and contraceptive use. Conclusions: CMDs can impact in pregnant and postpartum women. Early diagnosis and management must be seamlessly integrated into primary healthcare practices.

A hospital room has multiple patient monitoring devices at the bedside to monitor his or her status. However, vital sign monitors, ventilator and other bedside devices are made by a variety of different manufacturers and often cannot easily interface to the hospital information system. Medical environments incorporate complex and integrated data networks to transfer vast amounts of patient information, such as images, waveforms, and other forms of digital data. Hence, to assure interoperability of images, waveforms and patient data, Health Level Seven (HL7) was developed as an international standard to facilitate the communicating and storing of medical data. In this study, we developed middleware capable of receiving data from mCare 300 vital signs monitoring devices and converting the data to HL7 data format. The HL 7 middleware streamline clinical workflow and support patients. Therefore, clinical expertise are empowered to respond to dynamic healthcare situation as soon as they emerged, and consequently quality of care while helping to reduce the length of a patient's stay in a hospital.

In an effort to expand working opportunities for women and encourage childbirth, the government of Korea introduced the free infant care policy in 2013. This policy, however, was controversial with regard to issues, such as budget shortages and dissatisfaction based on socioeconomic status. In addition, the lack of evidence-based data regarding adequate age criteria for the entry of children into childcare facilities was noted as a challenge. As child development professionals who are concerned with mental health issues, we investigated the influence and challenges of the free infant care policy with regard to infant mental health. In this review, we examined the policies enacted by developed countries, such as the United Kingdom (UK), and compared them with those in Korea. The childcare systems in Korea and the UK differ historically and socially, but show some similarities, such as maternal responsibility for parenting and household issues. Like Korea, the need for UK childcare facilities increased in the 1990's in response to market recovery and associated increase in female employment. Among the new policies in the UK, the Sure Start program has begun to provide integrated services for infants, particularly to those 0-4 years of age, who are vulnerable to social exclusion. Similar to the Dream Start program in Korea, it has been successful in providing family-related services, resulting in improvements in problematic behaviors of children, enhanced parenting skills, and decreased rates of severely injured children.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the mass and social media contents and structures related to particulate matter before and after the policy enforcement of the comprehensive countermeasures for particulate matter, derive nursing implications, and provide a basis for designing health policies. Methods: After crawling online news articles and posts on social networking sites before and after policy enforcement with particulate matter as keywords, we conducted topic and semantic network analysis using TEXTOM, R, and UCINET 6. Results: In topic analysis, behavior tips was the common main topic in both media before and after the policy enforcement. After the policy enforcement, influence on health disappeared from the main topics due to increased reports about reduction measures and government in mass media, whereas influence on health appeared as the main topic in social media. However semantic network analysis confirmed that social media had much number of nodes and links and lower centrality than mass media, leaving substantial information that was not organically connected and unstructured. Conclusion: Understanding of particulate matter policy and implications influence health, as well as gaps in the needs and use of health information, should be integrated with leadership and supports in the nurses' care of vulnerable patients and public health promotion.

Objectives: 현재 장애인의 구강건강은 구강건강전문인력인 치과위생사가 아닌 사회복지사가 책임지고 있는 실정이다. 장애인 복지시설에 상주하는 사회복지사에게 올바른 구강건강 관리방법을 제공함으로써 장애인 구강건강의 형평성 제고를 도모하고자 한다. Methods: 2019년 4월 13일부터 2019년 4월 20까지 서울시 송파구에 위치한 'o' 장애인 복지시설에 거주하는 1급 지적장애인을 대상으로 식후 치과위생사 4명과 사회복지사 4명이 잇솔질 시행 후 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)를 측정하여 비교하였다. 사전에 사회복지사 4명에게 잇솔질(회전법)을 교육하였으며, 잇솔질 방법과 검사 측정 도구를 통일하였다. 대상자의 구강보건지식을 평가하기 위해 자기기입식 설문지를 사용하였고, 구강보건지식점수 및 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP index) 점수의 평균, 대상자의 일반적 특성에 대해 Microsoft Office Excel ver.2016 을 이용하여 빈도 및 백분율 산출하였다(N%). Results: 치과위생사와 사회복지사의 구강보건지식 조사에서 모든 문항에서 치과위생사가 높은 점수를 나타냈다. 치과위생사와 사회복지사가 지적장애인을 대상으로 잇솔질(회전법) 실시 후 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)를 비교했을 때 연령별, 성별 모든 분류에서 치과위생사의 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)가 낮게 나타났다. 2차에 걸쳐 치과위생사와 사회복지사가 지적장애인을 대상으로 잇솔질(회전법) 실시 후 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)를 비교했을 때 1차, 2차 모두 치과위생사의 구강환경관리능력지수(PHP Index)가 낮게 나타났다. Conclusions: 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 장애인들의 구강건강관리를 위해 치과위생사가 사회복지사보다 구강건강관리능력이 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 장애인들의 입소시설에 치과위생사가 구강건강관리전문 인력으로 배치되어 장애인 및 사회복지사의 교육을 담당할 수 있는 환경이 조성되어야하며, 치과위생사를 양성하는 대학의 교육과정에도 장애인의 특성을 이해하는 교과목이 개설되어 전문성이 제고되어야 한다.
